Description
Overview:
The Governor Rod for Honda GC135 engines is a genuine Honda linkage that connects the governor arm to the carburettor throttle to control engine speed. Supplied under OEM No. 16555ZL8-000, it is manufactured from formed steel for strength and long service life. By accurately transmitting governor movement, it keeps the engine running at a steady RPM under changing loads, improving starting, idling, and working performance. Designed for small Honda petrol engines used on domestic and light commercial equipment, it suits popular models such as the GC135 and GC160. This rod is a direct-fit replacement for a worn, bent, or stretched linkage, helping restore reliable throttle response and stable speed control without the need for modification.
Key Features:
- Genuine Honda part for assured compatibility and fit
- OEM reference 16555ZL8-000 for easy identification
- Formed steel construction resists wear and bending in service
- Precise linkage geometry for smooth, predictable throttle control
- Helps maintain stable RPM and reduces hunting or overspeeding
- Direct replacement with factory-correct length and bends
- Straightforward installation using basic hand tools
- Compatible with selected Honda GC and GS small engines (see model list)
Typical Applications:
Used on Honda-powered equipment where consistent engine speed is critical, including lawnmowers, pressure washers, generators, water pumps, and small tillers. Ideal when refurbishing engines that surge, struggle to hold revs, or show poor throttle response due to a damaged or stretched governor linkage.
